I understand this discussion has grown lengthy and not all of the content is clear, potentially frustrating the efforts of some to understand my style of support education.

I think I stated early on that our reviews have suggested sites administered by medical professional where administration is the product of an interactive group of professionals tend to be less harmful to a minority of participants than are sites such as this where a single practitioner formulates policies for use of an emerging technology without the benefit of an empowered and interactive group of administrative peers. Evidence that some people have expressed a sense of being hurt while participating here is abundant, especially in the archives of this administrative page. Robert Hsiung's consistent reply has been that this site can't be all things to all people, and that those who might feel hurt here can go elsewhere. Our hypothesis is that if there is a way for him to reduce the frequency of incidences of harm here, including participating in an empowered administrative group of peers that can override his policies, he has an obligation to either provide those protections or to advise participants he is not employing available means to protect them from his own misjudgements or from harm resulting from his experimental approaches.
